Re: [Bug-tar] We found a bug in TAR

Dear Sergey,

Thanks your answers.

I created the archive with this command:
root@nutrio:/# tar -cf /root/galaxyhungaria-2012-05-14.tar /Mentes/bergman/_var/www/galaxyhungaria/data/email/
tar: A kezdő „/” eltávolítása a nevek elejéről
root@nutrio:/#

I tried this command:

root@nutrio:/# tar -t /root/galaxyhungaria-2012-05-14.tar

But after I'm waiting until 4 hours and nothing happened I press a "CTRL-C" key to break.
I can't see error message my cursor was blinked in the new line. After "CTRL-C" I become the prompt again.

If I extract from the archive I can't see error. If the extracting was done I become a cursor again:
root@nutrio:~/tmp# tar -xf galaxyhungaria-2012-05-14.tar
root@nutrio:~/tmp#

But after the extracting the files are good. I think the real problem isn't the exactly the TAR. If I tried the extract in Midnnight Commander the problem is coming again. If I extract from the command line the extracting is success without failed files.

Sorry again I will compare and make a few test with the Midnight Commander. I think this is the wrong.

Thanks,
Peter

If I make a backup which .tar.gz file size is bigger than ~2GB some
files content are corrupted.

Do you get any errors when trying to list the created archive (using
tar -t)?

Have you tried tar 1.26?


I attached two files.

These files were obtained using tar -x, right? Did tar report any
errors when extracting them?

Regards,
Sergey
